Apple iPad G-Form Extreme Sleeve Bowling Ball Test Video

Now lets be honest here most gear in the mobile technology world is prone to being fragile, and the main reason why people use protective cases for their smartphones and tablets so they don’t get scratched or damaged.
However not all cases save your device from a drop or something heavy falling on it, but if you own an Apple iPad there is a case that seems to be quite tough, tough enough to withstand the weight of a bowling ball being dropped on it.
Thus we have for your viewing consideration today the G-Form Extreme Sleeve for the Apple iPad bowling ball drop test video courtesy of the guys over at Ubergizmo and by way of 9to5 Mac that shows what happens if you drop an 8 pound bowling ball onto your G-Form Extreme sleeve protected iOS tablet.
The G-Form Extreme Sleeve of iPad is apparently constructed in PORON XRD, which means if your iPad is protected by the sleeve it’s in safe hands, so check out the video footage below to see just how safe it is.
The G-Form Extreme Sleeve for the Apple iPad is scheduled for release on the 1st of May and commands a price tag of $59.95 and is available for pre-order as of right now, and basically puts the Apple Smart Cover to shame…enjoy.

Apple iPad 2 LCD Defect?

Have you bought iPad 2? Many people said that iPad 2 is amazing gadget from Apple. FYI according to some of the “lucky” few, it looks as if some of the Pad’s are bleeding light through the outer edges of the LCD panel. The display honestly looks pinched and if you push on the right hand side you will see the bleed gets worse with your finger on it. Try it! Another problem found was the yellow dots are visible on the LCD screen, much like a problem on the iPhone 4. This problem will disappear by itself soon after the adhesive agent used for the LCD glass began to evaporate. Check the video after the break.

Video taken with the iPad 2 appears online

An Italian Apple blog has taken short video with the iPad 2 while examining it after the unveiling presentation in London, and has emailed it to themselves to post online.

The quality is not bad, considering the dim lighting, but the video has been compressed in half to send via email and then quality further diminished after uploading to YouTube.

The image exhibits the typical for Apple high contrast, which people like in their mobile device cameras, but the white balance and exposure adjustments make the shot go from yellow tint to the real color every few seconds or so, almost similar to the yellowish tint we observe in some iPhone 4's indoor shots.

We'll know in two days what the HD 720p video outside looks like, although it's not very likely that you'll use the 1MP or so rear camera in that setting with a tablet.
